Executive Assistant & Operations Coordinator

Job Title: Executive Assistant & Operations Coordinator

Location: Bromley, United Kingdom

Setup: 5 days in office

Hi – we're SUMO – the UK's leading creator economy and talent management recruitment agency.

We work with many of the UK's top social media businesses, as well as talent agencies that represent some of the world's best-known celebrities, YouTubers, and influencers. We also own and publish The Talent Times, our own industry publication covering the creator economy.

We're looking for a highly organised, polished and proactive Executive Assistant & Operations Coordinator to become a key member of our growing team.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and thrives on keeping people, projects and the business moving forward. You'll work closely with the Directors, supporting them with diary management, meetings and day-to-day priorities, while also taking ownership of many of the operational functions that keep the business running smoothly.

No two days are the same. One day you might be coordinating interviews, managing our social media or producing company reports, and the next you'll be organising an event, supporting a recruiter on a key hire or helping improve one of our internal processes.

We're open-minded about experience. You may already have experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Operations Coordinator or Office Manager, or you could be a bright graduate or someone at the start of their career with exceptional organisational skills, strong computer literacy and a genuine desire to learn. For us, attitude, professionalism and attention to detail are just as important as experience.

\n
• Providing day-to-day Executive Assistant support to the Directors, including diary management, coordinating meetings, arranging calls and helping manage priorities.
\n

\n

About you

We're looking for someone who:

\n
• Is exceptionally organised and has outstanding attention to detail.
\n
• Is polished, professional and represents the business to a high standard.
\n
• Takes pride in staying one step ahead and enjoys making things happen.
\n
• Is proactive, resourceful and enjoys taking ownership.
\n
• Can confidently manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
\n
• Has excellent written and verbal communication skills.
\n

\n
• Is dependable, positive and takes pride in producing high-quality work.
\n

\n

Previous experience in administration, executive support, operations, recruitment or marketing would be advantageous, but isn't essential. We're just as interested in meeting ambitious graduates or early-career candidates who have the right mindset, exceptional organisational skills and a willingness to learn.

If you're someone who loves organisation, enjoys supporting others, takes pride in doing things properly and wants to play an important role in a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
